Top 10

10. UCLA: Bruins replace our weekly Big 14 team. Very impressive win at Arizona last night. Defensive efficiency is bad, but did enough last night.

9. Oregon: Played uninspired at Stanford but found a way to win.

8. Wichita State: Shockers will be a handful in a few weeks. Young team, too. Not sure this is a team Gregg Marshall walks from.

7. Louisville: Lost at UNC, no shame in that. Defense is slipping, though.

6. West Virginia: Top 15 on both sides of the ball.  

5. Kentucky: Nice win over Florida. Gators ahead of them in KP.

4. Kansas: Death, taxes, blah, blah

3. North Carolina: Best team in the best league.

2. Villanova: If they avoid Butler, they'll be fine in March.

1. Gonzaga: Well, last night was interesting. I don't necessarily believe losing helps but some adversity can. Their goal is the Final 4.
